I just started looking at the flexiWAN solution. I have setup 2 nodes.  Have A tunnel up between them.  The network is up and I can pass data across it.  

A few questions:
If i have Site 1 that has 2 ISP connections and site 2 that has 1 ISP connection.  
I have Path Label INET1 on one ISP connection and Path Label INET2 on the other ISP Connection.  
How would I go about making this redundant?  I would want tunnels from both ISP connections on Site 1 to the single ISP connection on Site 2 so that an outage to one of the ISPs at Site 1 wouldn't take the connectivity down?  When I built the tunnel I added both path labels thinking that might do it but right now it's only showing the matching INET1 label?  I tried to add both labels to both ISP interfaces but it told me I couldn't do that.

Routing:
In the past with other SDWAN solutions I've had the ability to filter routes both on the LAN side adjacencies (OSPF/BGP/Etc.) so what the device learns and sends to the LAN as well as what was allowed to be advertised to/from the SDWAN.  
I see the routing filter but it appears I can only apply this to BGP neighbors which would only filter the routes on BGP connections to the LAN?  How would i filter OSPF?
The reason behind this question is that in many deployments the SDWAN device may need to learn about networks to route them locally but I would not want them advertised to the SDWAN?  

Along the lines of routing how would I filter redistribution?  I see the buttons to redistribute OSPF to BGP and BGP to OSPF but where do I filter what I'm redistributing and how do I tell it what to redistribute (static/connected/learned)?

Visibility:
I see the dashboard and status of traffic amounts etc.  Where/how do I see the traffic itself?  The flows that are going between the devices?

QOS:
I see where I can build the policies and how to apply them but I'm having trouble finding documentation that would show me how see what goes into each queue?  I see the Traffic Map but it's just Service Class and mapped queue.  How do I see what traffic matches a service class?  Based on application? DSCP? 
In addition to the above, where do I go to look at traffic to validate it's being put in the right queue and handled appropriately. 

Thanks,
Brian
